I don't want to live in a panopticon, sorry bro.

You can't decide who uses permissionless systems whether it is Monero or Bitcoin. Otherwise it wouldn't be permissionless.

Even in a world with Bitcoin you are dreaming if you think governments or anyone shady is going to play fair and choose to transact and be accountable on it. Not happening. Bill Gates, Jeffrey Epstein, and any 3 letter agencies already accomplished their dirty deeds well before Monero existed.

Monero gives the average joe the power to keep his finances under his control and hidden from governments or bad actors. We saw what happens when governments can see political opponents bitcoin transactions during the trucker protests in Canada. They can just send men with guns to go knock on your door.

Governments will use transparency against plebs. Privacy and anoymity are the only protection you have against a stronger adversary.
